How to attend your first South Philly Block Party:

Step 1: Try not to look like a tourist when snapping photos of the fire truck that arrived at 8 am to clean the block.




Step 2: Decorate your "stoop" and dog for the festivities (yay paper cutting!)




Step 3: Don't trip over your platforms when electric sliding with the neighbors.



Step 4: Force your husband to take a photo with precious neighbor child, Avery.



Step 5: Enjoy the show!

Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July!
